In order to make sure that your WebQuest stays aligned with your unit, you will need to copy and paste 3 things from your Stages 1 and 2 from your unit for Dr. Grace's class. (This will also help Dr. Theresa give you better feedback on your Intro, Task, and Conclusion.) Then you will write your first drafts of your Introduction and Conclusion.
G.R.A.S.P.S
(Feel free to copy and paste what you have for the GRASPS portion of your unit for Dr. Grace in Stage 2.)
Goal
To create a cost effective packaging design for Staples.
Role
A packaging designer.
Audience
Staples shipping department.
Situation
You order two products from Staples and find that they are delivered in extremely wasteful and costly packaging.
Product & Performance
A 3D CAD model and a 3D Printed product.
Standards
Design 25%, Proper Dimensions 20%, Calculations 15%, CAD Understanding 15%, Group work 15%, Time and Effort 10%.
Understanding(s)
(Copy and paste the big understanding(s) you have listed in your unit for Dr. Grace in Stage 1 (the answers to the essential questions). What are the academic goals for the unit (which will also be the purpose of the WebQuest)?) • shapes have different areas and volumes. • density is directly correlated to area and volume. • geometry is used to solve real life situations and problems.
Introduction
You are an avid online shopper and work in the design industry. You order all of your design supplies from online stores. Everything you order seems to come in a different size and shape package depending on the item and store. You have received some great packages and some not so great packages.
Task
You place an order from Staples. Two days later you receive a giant box with the small item you ordered inside. Your task as a designer is to design and create a new package design that reduces costs but still holds up under crush tests. You will bring this design along with a proposal detailing the volume and density of packing peanuts needed for the new design to Staples shipping department. If you can convince them on the savings benefit you will be compensated with free school supplies for life.
Conclusion
Now that you have finished your solid shape design in CAD software you should now prepare to present your designs and calculations to the board of directors at Staples. These calculations will include the volume, density and amount of packaging peanuts needed to fill the package. If you have the best design you will win office / school supplies for life! Congratulations on completing this design task, you should be hearing back from Staples CEO shortly on your performance!
